INPEXIT

Specifies the 1- to 8-byte character name of the input record exit program.

INPEXIT=programname
ACIF calls this program for every record (every line) it reads from the input file (specified with the INPUTDD parameter).
  • For the AIX operating system, if you specify the program file name without a path, ACIF will search the path specified by the LIBPATH environment variable, if the LIBPATH environment variable is not set ACIF will search the path specified by the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

  • For the Linux operating system, if you specify the program file name without a path, ACIF will search the path specified by the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.

  • For the Windows operating system, if you specify the program file name without a path, ACIF will search the path specified by the PATH environment variable.

If you do not specify this parameter, ACIF does not use an input record exit program. The value is:

programname
Any valid input record exit program name. The exit program name is case-sensitive.

If the input file is unformatted ASCII, but the fonts you are using contain EBCDIC, not ASCII, code points (for example, you specify CHARS=GT15), you can specify one of these exit programs that are supplied with InfoPrint Manager or RICOH ProcessDirector:

/usr/lpp/psf/bin/apka2e (AIX) or \install_directory\exits\acif\apka2e.dll (Windows)
Converts ASCII stream data to EBCDIC stream data. You can also convert encoded data to another coded character set identifier (CCSID) if you specify the INPCCSID and OUTCCSID parameters.
/usr/lpp/psf/bin/asciinp (AIX) or \install_directory\exits\acif\asciinp.dll (Windows)
Converts unformatted ASCII data that contains carriage returns and form feeds into a record format that contains an ANSI carriage control character. This exit encodes the ANSI carriage control character in byte 0 of every record.
/usr/lpp/psf/bin/asciinpe (AIX) or \install_directory\exits\acif\asciinpe.dll (Windows)
Converts unformatted ASCII data into a record format in the same way as asciinp, and then converts the ASCII stream data to EBCDIC stream data. You can also convert encoded data to another coded character set identifier (CCSID) if you specify the INPCCSID and OUTCCSID parameters.

If your input file uses fonts that have ASCII code points (such as CHARS=H292), you should not use the apka2e or asciinpe exit programs. However, if your unformatted ASCII file contains carriage returns and form feeds, you might want to specify the asciinp exit program.
